This story speaks to me on so many levels.

Even as a man I understand the agonizing horrors women face. Good story. Well worth missing bedtime to read it.

Lyra heard a whooshing sound. She turned around and screamed as an ocean of blood came crashing down the hall like a wave, engulfing anything and anyone in sight.

"...and the halls of Canterlot High would run red with blood..."

"It's a thousand times better than that unicorn costume you wear every year."

:rainbowkiss:

Sadly, I get those cramps as well... Through the entire first half of the story I was thinking, "You shouldn't have worn white" over and over again.

Me too!

I was terrified she was gonna have a run through during class.

6592684
Yeah. I'll even have a run through with a pad. And I use the big ones. :raritydespair:

:fluttercry:
Every girls fear in high school.

This story is so true and accurate.
Needs a slice of life tag and to be featured.

That´s the reason I´m convinced God is a man (and a jerk ). Otherwise there is no way he would have designed menstruation, birthing pains and menopause.

6592899

As a man, I agree.

We need to elect Celestia in his place.

She can get shit done AND actually talk to us, wroth an appointment.

Iirc periods and thus period pain and the pain of childbirth were supposed to be part of the 'Original Sin' curse for Eve and her descendants.

"WHAT?! That miserable clone I created now chooses to eat from the Fruit of Knowledge and developing critical thinking rather than being an obedient pet in my private zoo? And is giving Adam ideas? I'll teach that bitch respect!
Oh, I know, I'll kick her and her hubby from the Garden, mess with her reproductive system to add extra pain to all its functions. And to make the message damn clear I'll create a religion to teach all future women to be submisive to their men and that all bad shit I unleash upon humanity is their damn fault. Yeah, just like that."

"Bonbon, Bonbon! I had a terrible nightmare! I was friends with Flash Sentry!!!"

Oh my...:rainbowderp:

6592669 The worst possible thing is to wear white, especially when you don't expect it :rainbowderp: And guess what :facehoof: I went on my period an hour after I submitted, so it must be Lyra's revenge :rainbowlaugh:

Oh dear. I can imagine both pony and human Lyra yelling revenge with a manic look in their eyes... I never wear white towards the end of the month, when mine usually comes on. (But is very unpridictible and will sometimes be 2 weeks late!)

Wearing white when you know its about to come on is nearly equivalent to a deathwish. I still remember that poor girl with white pants walking to the busses eith a huge red stain. I really wanted to say something, but I didn't since I didn't know her and would probably embarrass her. I probably should have though... :unsuresweetie:

6595202 Sigh. Those moments. :ajsleepy:

See, this is one of the many reasons why we should start upgrading the human genome already.

Not agreeing or disagreeing with the idea merely saying what I know

This story is me, like, 97.82%.

The rest is me saying, "But I get, like, a million skip months!"

Hah! I only get headaches, I'm a lucky ducky:pinkiehappy:

Poor Lyra, that must be terrible. I couldn't imagine living with that if it happened to me in class.:fluttershyouch::fluttershbad: This is possibly the scariest fic out there. (Especially with the Progress Report):derpytongue2:

I really don't know what to say here. This is just one more reason us guys need to respect the girls in our lives. Whether they be friends, family, or strangers.

I once wore white shorts during that time of month... I think you can figure out the rest.:unsuresweetie:

Didn't even get as far as the description and I knew this had to be a story about a particular cycle in the female body. (Not sure if the name is the same as it was last time I heard of it because, you know, society)

If you're in THAT time of the month, wearing dark shorts or pants can really help.

Uuuuhhh those days of those of months....:raritydespair:

To be perfectly honest, I thought this was going to be an inane kind of comedy where the central joke was simply "women have periods, hur, hur". But I was wrong! Super funny dialogue/story and it's so relatable to boot. ^-^ Upvote~

This was funny and it scared me. Like The Shining. Which was referenced!

Seeing as I have mostly female friends. I really feel for you women.

Mine likes to sneak up on me. Damn thing's almost ALWAYS a day late if not a whole stupid WEEK! Seriously, you crummy bag of torture, PICK A SCHEDULE AND STICK TO IT. I have things to pack! Libraries to raid! Food to eat! I do not have time to lie around being crampy and depressed! :flutterrage:

:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:
BEST! PICTURE! EVER!

Oh lawd, that Mean Girls ref :rainbowlaugh:

As a guy with 3 sisters, I feel Lyra's pain. Metaphorically, at least.

Lyra paused, realizing that she forgot to shower; then she glanced at the clock. 7:45. Ouch. She simply shrugged and applied some deodorant. I took a shower last night, I’ll be fine.

I love little reminders in fics (and media in general) that even girls occasionally do slobby things like this.

Fluttershy sitting in the seat next to her in simple wedding gown and veil.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Nice twist ending. The progress report, I mean. The dream thing was telegraphed a bit too soon.

Well... That was a little more information than I needed.
Here's a fav, tho, I liked the like, wave of blood. ^-^ It's reminiscent of a certain old horror movie...
:pinkiecrazy: HERE'S JOHNNY!

I feel her pain. I'm usually sobbing, unable to eat, and bedridden with a heating pad or large icepack on my lower abdomen on the first day or two of bleeding. Yay for me, pain meds that I can safely take don't work. If they do, it's only slightly and not enough to have even bothered taking them.

Yay. Periods are awful. I remember my worst one. It lasted two hours (at the two hour mark is where I stopped counting) and it was the worst one I had ever felt. It kept taunting me by lightening up for two minutes before going back to that painful void. Advil did NOTHING.

7222816 Yes. But I've never had anything as bad since so that's good.

Darnit! Why do I always get stuck in the wrong side of the internet?!

Funny story though...

This has actually happened to me. Mind you... not a blood wave, but gosh, it was embarrassing. It happened twice:facehoof:

Why must the world be so cruel?!

So wait let me get this straight... you get cramps and you hallucinate in your dreams only to wake up to find your mom looking at your failing progress report? man, that's oddly specific. And sucks. :raritywink:

I'm lucky to be guy. We only suffer if we get kicked there. Or punched. Or sat on. Or you anything...

6595164 Wrath so powerful that it crosses universes and the frigging laws of time & space! Not to mention sanity... DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :pinkiegasp: :pinkiecrazy:

*stares in confusion because male*

6592899 Do you think he designed menstruation and every other aforementioned aspect of the feminine reproductive anatomy to torture you, or because it was the best and safest way he could do it? I am a firm believer in the idea that anything could be worse than it currently is, so you should be grateful that what you got isn't any worse.

1. I am a "he".
2. I studied back in college about the "design flaws" in the human body, like the blind spot of our eyes, an useless and dangerous apendix, a dual function pharynx which increases the danger of choking, a very narrow birth cannal, etc...
If our bodies were truly designed, we should find the designer and sue him for incompetence.

It happened today... I got A's though....


YAY NO SCHOOL!!
